BIODEGRADABLE POLYMER COMPRISING SIDE CHAINS WITH POLYAMINE AND POLYALKYLENE OXIDE GROUPS
Provided is a polymer comprising a hydrolysable polymer backbone, the polymer backbone comprising: (i) monomer units comprising a hydrophobic side chain; (ii) monomer units comprising a side chain comprising a polyamine group and a polyalkylene oxide group; and, optionally, (iii) monomer units comprising a side chain comprising a polyamine group without a polyalkylene oxide group, as well as a method of preparing said polymer, and a method of delivering a nucleic acid and/or polypeptide to a cell using the polymer.
